Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux, the HighPoint SSD7505 PCIe 4.0 NVMe RAID Controllerfrom HighPoint SSD7505 PCIe 4.0 NVMe RAID Controlleris a four-channel M.2 NVME RAID controller that connects to your host system using its PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. It is equipped with four M.2 NVMe 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110 SSD slots, each of which is powered using dedicated PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth.

The SSD7505 has a full-height form factor and supports RAID 0, 1, 10, and Single. It maintains cool operations using an aluminum heatsink, a fan, and a thermal pad. It has a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rating of 920,585 hours.

HighPoint's 7500 Series combines dedicated PCIe Gen4 x16 host connectivity with RAID technology to deliver efficient storage performance. The dedicated PCIe 4.0 x16 host interface enables each NVMe SSD to interface directly with the system CPU to ensure maximum transfer performance and fast response times.

Unlike most PCIe Gen4 NVMe storage devices in today's marketplace, which are tied to a specific hardware platform or brand of SSD or motherboard, HighPoint SSD7500 series controllers are truly independent NVMe RAID solutions.

SSD7500 series controllers do not require motherboard platforms with bifurcation support, or any specialized software released by SSD manufactures; any AMD-based system with a dedicated PCIe 4.0 x16 slot can now take full advantage of this fast storage solution. In addition, SSD7500 series controllers are fully backwards compatible with Intel PCIe 3.0 platforms, enabling customers to take full advantage of advanced Gen4 storage media without migrating to a new computing environment.

Unique to HighPoint NVMe RAID solutions, RAID 1/0 (also known as RAID 10) requires a minimum of 4 NVMe SSDs. It will mirror the data of one striped array to a second, hidden striped array for security. RAID 1/0 is capable of delivering read performance on par with RAID 0, and is superior to RAID 5 for NVMe applications. Unlike RAID 5, RAID 1/0 doesn't necessitate additional parity related write operations, which reduces the TBW lifespan of NVMe SSDs.

Also known as a striped array, this mode delivers maximum performance and requires a minimum of two NVMe SSDs.

This mode creates a hidden duplicate of the target SSD, and requires two NVMe SSD' to configure. RAID 1 is good for bootable volumes.

The SSD7505 can be used to configure bootable RAID or single NVMe SSD configurations for Windows and Linux systems. Optional UEFI downloads and complete installation guides are available for each supported platform.

HighPoint 7500 Series NVMe RAID controllers will automatically recognize new NVMe SSDs as single drives- no configuration necessary. In addition, their comprehensive NVMe RAID stack enables each controller to support RAID multiple RAID 0, 1 or 10 arrays, or mixed configurations of single disks and RAID storage.

SSD7500 series RAID controllers benefit from a completely new, ground-up redesign of HighPoint's NVMe cooling system. HighPoint's Low-Noise Hyper-Cooling solution ensures your NVMe SSDs consistently operate within their recommended temperature thresholds, even under sustained heavy I/O, by combining a full length anodized aluminum heat sink with a durable, near-silent fan, and high-conductivity thermal pad. This innovative, efficient cooling system rapidly transfers waste heat away from critical NVMe and controller components without introducing unwanted distraction into your work environment.

When it comes to maintaining critical storage configurations, each customer has specific needs and preferences. Both management interfaces share universal layouts across all major operating systems and can be administered locally or remotely via an internet connection. The Web RAID Management Interface (WebGUI) is a simple, intuitive web-based management tool and is ideal for customers who are new to RAID technology. The CLI (command line interface) is a powerful, text-only management interface designed for advanced users and professional administrators. Comprehensive user guides are available for both interfaces are available from each controller's Software Updates webpage.

Both interfaces were designed to streamline NVMe Storage Management. Customers can easily track TBW (Terabytes Written) and the temperature of each individual NVMe SSD, ensure the SSD7180 controller is using the fastest available PCIe slot, configure an event log with email notification, and monitor the status of critical RAID configurations in person or remotely via an internet connection.
